The development of beyond 5G (B5G) future wireless communication networks (FWCN) needs novel solutions to support high-speed, reliable, and low-latency communication. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are promising techniques that can enhance wireless connectivity in urban environments where tall buildings block line-of-sight (LoS) links. However, existing UAV-assisted communication strategies do not fully address key challenges like mobility management, handover failures (HOFs), and path disorders in dense urban environments. This paper introduces a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG)-based UAV-RIS framework to overcome these limitations. The proposed framework jointly optimizes UAV trajectories and RIS phase shifts to improve throughput, energy efficiency (EE), and LoS probability while reducing outage probability (OP) and HOF. A modified K-means clustering algorithm is used to efficiently partition the ground users (GUs) considering the newly added GUs as well. The DDPG algorithm, based on reinforcement learning (RL), adapts UAV positioning and RIS configurations in a continuous action space. Simulation results show that the proposed approach significantly reduces HOF and OP, increases EE, enhances network throughput, and improves LoS probability compared to UAV-only, RIS-only, and without UAV-RIS deployments. Additionally, by dynamically adjusting UAV locations and RIS phase shifts based on GU mobility patterns, the framework further enhances connectivity and reliability. The findings highlight its potential to transform urban wireless communication by mitigating LoS blockages and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity in dense environments.
